Chapter 42: Playing Mahjong Just Because He's Afraid He'll Be Hungry
The mahjong set was completely finished two days later. A group of people gathered around Su Mian, looking at the small wooden blocks drying on the table. They all stretched their heads to look, wondering how to play with this strange little thing.
Pick up a piece and weigh it in your hand. After all, mahjong is made of wood and is relatively light in weight. Although there is some difference in the feel, given the limited conditions, it is better than nothing.
"Eunuch Su, what on earth is this and how do I play with it?"
"Yes, Eunuch Su, please teach us."
The concubines in the lead were talking to each other, all looking at Su Mian expectantly. They had temporarily forgotten about the emperor and the competition for favor.
"Come on, come on, listen to me."
In full view of everyone, Su Mian was the first to sit on the stool, stir the tiles, and start washing the mahjong tiles.
"Don't just stand there, please sit down, I will teach you."
Yun Zhengqing, Shen Ceqing and Jiang Ceqing looked at each other, then sat down after a moment and imitated Su Mian's movements, rubbing their hands on the mahjong.
Su Mian specially asked the young eunuch to help polish the mahjong after the ink had dried, in order to prevent the barbs on the wood from pricking his hands.
Now I don't have to worry about that at all.
While rubbing and stacking mahjong tiles, he briefly explained the rules of mahjong again. Although Su Mian was teaching while playing, after all, there were three novices among the four people, so the game of mahjong was somewhat difficult.
After playing four games, he won three times, and Su Mian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
After four rounds, he gave up his position and decided to teach them hand in hand. Otherwise, he didn't know when they could achieve true mahjong freedom.
When they first started playing, they couldn’t quite grasp the fun of it, but after a round, they became more and more addicted to it, and everyone was having a great time.
The fight lasted until the sun went down.
Cheng Changgeng waited in Anyu Pavilion for a long time but Su Mian still didn't come back, so he sent someone to invite him. Only then did he find out that Su Mian had lost his mind and had been playing mahjong most of the day.
Upon receiving the news, Cheng Changgeng held his forehead helplessly. He didn't say much, but just asked Xiao Dezi with a stern face to bring Su Mian back as soon as possible.
Xiao Dezi was trembling with fear, fearing that the emperor would beat them all to death if he was in a bad mood, so when he found Su Mian, he started to yell and made everyone around him gasp.
Would the Emperor get mad?
"Eunuch Su, please go back quickly. If the emperor gets angry, you will be in trouble."
"Yes, yes, but don't worry, if the emperor wants to punish you, tell us and we will plead for you."
Now in their eyes, Su Mian has become an indispensable companion. With Su Mian around, the boring life has become more fun.
"Don't worry, everyone. I'm fine. You should also go to bed early. It's so late today."
Su Mian still felt a little guilty. After all, he was the one who had forgotten himself while leading so many people. Only now did he come to his senses and realize that his stomach had been growling with hunger.
Qiming went back to Anyuge with Xiao Dezi. As soon as Su Mian entered the room, Qiming jumped out of Cheng Changgeng's arms and ran to Su Mian's feet, rubbing against him.
Obviously, Qiming likes Su Mian more.
"Are you willing to come back?"
Cheng Changgeng continued to frown, his tone filled with dissatisfaction and resentment. Su Mian couldn't guess his mood for a moment.
[Are you really angry? ]
But this thought only lasted a few seconds, because soon he looked in the direction of Cheng Changgeng and saw a table full of food.
Cheng Changgeng was not angry at him for wasting his time on trivial things, he was just worried that he would go hungry.
